Safe on all kinds of asphalt and really fast, the Diamante Pro is the state of the art of modern nylon bicycle tyre construction. The casing is a 220 TPI nylon wonder (a Vittoria exclusive and now further improved) and has new Integra 252 puncture protection, for flexibility, comfort and exceptional reliability. Vittoria continue to use a specific tread compound - the Kevlar® Carbon 3D Compound (with silica and carbon black), in order to achieve the main goals related to such a high level of racing tyre; grip, low rolling resistance and endurance. Another great feature of this tyre is the new tread pattern which has been designed following the Prisma C.O.M. Vector Design; a slick central part with an orientated rhomb pattern on the sides, where each "rhomb" is shaped and oriented to perform better with side and breaking forces. The new tread pattern has been developed thanks to the new Finished Element Analysis (FEA) software in order to guarantee an outstanding grip and safety.
Features :
Nylon 220 TPI: The unbeatable Nylon 220 Casing (220 TPI, a Vittoria exclusive) get even better. In fact Nylon Plus 220 is the latest Vittoria technological solution and it raises the bar for what concerns the nylon clincher limits. A yarn with unbeatable mechanical proprieties, for the first time ever used in the cycling field of application, allowed a 10% weight reduction. It therefore provides better flexibility and improved road performances.
Kevlar Carbon 3D Compound: A new high-end compound, Kevlar® Carbon 3D Compound is the sinergy of Kevlar® strength and carbon durability. Adding Silica to this performance compound, Vittoria have set the reference for vulcanised high TPI nylon tyres.
Twin Tread Technology: Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. This ingenious design places the hard tread in the centre where the wear occurs, and uses a softer compound on the shoulders for unparalleled grip when cornering.
Prisma C.O.M Vector Design: The traditional shape of the micro-knobs has been changed in favour of a prisma with a rhombus base in order to reach a higher contact surface while retaining the lowest possible rolling resistance.
Integra 252: Integra is a bead-to-bead puncture protective layer. Vittoria use it for their 220 TPI nylon casings, the highest density of nylon cords available on the market (Vittoria eclusive): with Integra they can take advantage of the super-lightweight casing without compromising its sidewall resistance and high maximum inflating pressure.
